holistic skin

Deep hydration of the skin needs to come from within and, as is now widely accepted, nourishing our skin through wholesome food and nutrition, is a key aspect of this. Fatty acids, such as those found in the omega 3 group, feed the top layer of the skin and keep water ‘locked in’. However, simply increasing your intake of oily fish or flaxseed oil may not be enough – a deficiency in magnesium can affect how well we use these oils, and eating a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, or supplementing with a natural form of magnesium, can help.
